View a list of lecturers’ teaching modules (PDF 93 KB)
- Blended learning is an approach to education that combines online lesson delivery and interaction with traditional face-to-face (F2F) classroom learning. It requires the physical presence of both the teacher and student, with some elements of student control over time, place, path, or pace. While students still attend physical lessons with a teacher, the lesson delivery is combined with computer-mediated activities for students to do more independent learning with guidance.
- Approximately 50% of teaching will be conducted F2F (6 lessons of physical interaction), and the other 50% conducted via synchronous online teaching (7 lessons of online interaction per module).
- Coursework includes attendance at lectures, discussions of case studies, tests, presentations, and completion of the group and individual written assignments.
- Contact hours: 39 hours per module, total 234 hours
- 3 semesters. Each semester is a period of two months.
- Lectures at least 4 times a week (Mon-Fri evenings & Sat)
- Each lesson: 3 hours
- Additional classes and workshops provided to teach study skills, academic writing and presentation.
- Academic materials include module outlines, reading lists and handbooks on study strategies.
